Jimmy Kimmel roasts FCC with ‘Year in Unnecessary Censorship’

Every weekday, PR Daily associate editor Alan Pearcy highlights the day’s most compelling stories and amusing marginalia on the Web in this, #TheDailySpin.

Move over, Samuel L. Jackson. Make way, David Letterman. While your respective F-bombs caught the attention of the Federal Communications Commission this week, they were nothing compared to the slips of the tongue that Jimmy Kimmel catches every week. The late-night host has collected the best of those humorously fabricated gaffes in this video on the year in “unnecessary censorship.”

With a film list of its own, the Library of Congress unveiled its annual selection of 25 movies added to the National Film Registry. This year’s inductees include “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “A League of Their Own,” and holiday classic “A Christmas Story.”

Dos Equis’ “most interesting man” isn’t the only icon in the holiday spirit. From Facebook as fruitcake and Instagram as the Grinch, The Joy of Tech reimagines a few of the biggest names in technology as Christmas icons.

Of course, the biggest Christmas icon of them all has to be Santa—most likely thanks in part to his publicist. In fact, his likeness is so synonymous with seasonal merriment, it could prove difficult imagining St. Nick as anything other than jolly. That is, until reading New York Times writer Joyce Wadler’s “Fifty Shades of Santa.”

Meanwhile, Cadbury marketers already have their eyes set on holiday trends of 2013. The brand’s first order of business: launching an integrated campaign encouraging consumers to “have a fling” with their seasonal favorite, the Crème Egg.
